[Verse 1]
I saw you by the mirror
At the end of a crowded club
Gold hoops and a red dress
You laughed like you’d had enough
You said, “Don’t let them know me”
When your hand brushed mine in the dark
I knew right then, baby
You were carrying a hidden spark
[Pre-Chorus]
Now your father keeps calling
Your mother says, “Be polite”
They picked out a fine man for you
But he don’t know your light
And I can feel you leaning
When the room goes thin and slow
Tell me where you’re going
If you’re not allowed to go
[Chorus]
Meet me where the horns go low
Meet me where the sad songs go
You want me, I know you do
You want me, I want you too
Meet me where the horns go low
Don’t let them write your whole story
If you say run, I’ll run with you
I’ll burn down every worry
[Verse 2]
I’ve been waiting outside your window
In the rain with a borrowed coat
Sending notes through your cousin
Hoping one of them gets to your throat
I’d cross that town in a heartbeat
I’d face every locked front door
I’d learn your name in a new key
If it helped me love you more
[Pre-Chorus]
You keep your phone face down
Like the world might hear your breath
But when your eyes find mine
It feels louder than the rest
So tell me when and where, baby
I’ll be there before the dawn
If love is a bridge they won’t let us cross
Then I’ll build one strong
[Chorus]
Meet me where the horns go low
Meet me where the sad songs go
You want me, I know you do
You want me, I want you too
Meet me where the horns go low
Don’t let them write your whole story
If you say run, I’ll run with you
I’ll burn down every worry
[Bridge]
Maybe they’re scared of the way you shine
Maybe they’re scared of me
But fear ain’t a chain on a heart like yours
And love don’t stay behind bars free
So if you come tonight
With that same look in your eye
We’ll step out of this old ballroom
And let the whole world sigh
[Chorus]
Meet me where the horns go low
Meet me where the sad songs go
You want me, I know you do
You want me, I want you too
Meet me where the horns go low
Don’t let them write your whole story
If you say run, I’ll run with you
I’ll burn down every worry
